A YOUNG Syrian refugee was reunited with his elder brother on Thursday night, after a groundbreaking court ruling ordered that four young people stranded in the Calais refugee camp be brought to Britain.

The 17-year-old was overcome with emotion as he met his brother in London, who was smuggled into the country in a tomato lorry.

Refugee Aid campaigners said they were “delighted” with the development but said that the Conservative government still has a lot to answer for and criticised its slow response to the refugee crisis.
